So from what I understand today is the Baseball's opening day... Now that doesn't mean your team has a home opener today since there can only be one home team.... It seems silly to have the season start so early when it can and does still snow but of course if you push the season back any that is a risk you take the other way ..... Think it has snowed during the playoffs before but not sure about that....

The Bisons open up a week from today and even though it is a 3pm game it is a good reason to take the day off... Hope there is no snow or rain or high winds and that I can enjoy the game and a Burger or maybe some Mexican (there was a moe's there not sure if there still is) not really a hot dog guy......

For those with Passports go to Toronto to see a game it is fun and if you want to see it from a different perspective get those 9 dollar seats it is almost like a video game where you are looking down at everything it is really trippy ...... You can go there for more then just a game as well..... Baseball is so much better in person and Yes $20-25 to park but if you are going to do other stuff not a big deal...... There is a way to get a ticket to watch from the Hard Rock Cafe windows but not sure how that works.... I also have seen a game in Cleveland.... From seeing games here it makes it seem like Dunn Tire Park was built backwards like sitting in the seats you should be able to see downtown .........

As I said before I wish I could get into Baseball on TV. I admit I'm a Costas fan and think he does a great job.... But even so I just can't get into baseball on TV I have watched it but.... I think part of it is the delays.... See in a ballpark there is a pitch you look to see if you judged it correctly when people are on bases you have that to watch...... But on TV all of that is done for you and once you learn how to read that graphic you know the count and what bases people are on aren't so the delay's seem slow..... I also think that some how the action of stealing a base is lost.......

Back to the long season.... I never played Baseball in a league so maybe I don't get this nor did a play in school.... But to me baseball is a summer thing not a spring fall and almost winter thing..... I think some sports are to long and there is to much of them.... Same is true with hockey at Club Daiblo this was mentioned slightly that hockey should be over when the ice is soft like in June.... I think that is cause the playoffs take so long since they play every other day........

Baseball does for some reason make great Movies..... Basketball, Major League, Field Of Dreams (not really about baseball at all) and others I have never seen........

How Did Bob Uker become Mr Baseball?
Why Isn't Pete Rose in the Hall Of Fame?
How come did "The Chicken" Lose San Diago ..... and be more Famous then the Team?

I don't know what it is that even with drug abuse there is still something pure about baseball.... Maybe that it isn't a contact sport? Maybe it is the fresh cut grass and that smell? maybe it is how the field is cut so nice and the lines are perfect and you can watch the field come together........

I admit I have no means into Canada and I won't go to that many bisions games but Baseball is great and even as it snows it some how marks a new beginning ..........

Just have to add that Last night at Sportmen's Tavern I really Enjoyed watching some baseball it was really the Skiffle Minstrils (how ever it is spelled) but it looked great I really can't explain how good it looked .... You could see the fans faces then other times you couldn't but they where blurry based on how the camera was focussed..............

So I was able to go to the Sabres game on Friday night.... It was a good time.... I was planning to go to the Sean Madden Satan For President show that same night and it looks like I didn't miss much of that at all but that is the previous post Here are pictures from that night.... Oh yeah the Sabres won and that all ways helps.......

GAME ON!

Well hopefully that is enough pictures to tell the story but not so many it is overkill.... I had to include a picture of that awesome Pink limo...............

Ok Picture one showed up lets us hope it works at the end as well.....

Currently it looks like it is working..... I think what happened last time is I went to Sean Madden's band page and something crashed there so it messed up here.... Brook D'angelo is the lady who is on stage again not sure I know how to tell you what her music is like it is kinda like cover songs but she spices them up? Below is the freakness if you like or want to see Sean Madden's art you can look him up on face book or do the google thing or go to Clownvomit.org

Ok they are added so lets home this works.........

Now Assuming when I hit publish that it works this time... I was hoping I wouldn't have to re drag and drop the photos but I had to since they weren't in my album I mean gallery so I just retried this.... Then I'll put the other attempts to draft status aka Private.........

So Friday Night I went to the Sabres game and then I watched them Yesterday and they won again Awesome.... All I can say is that I got the ticket for free well wonder if I said to much but that isn't really this post that is the next post..... I will admit that the art show I went to is because of both (e:strip) and Facebook. I really like Sean Madden's art... I won't lie I don't know what it all means but I get a meaning from it I really like.... (e:heidi) had some photos at 464 gallery (I admit should have bought the waterfall one it was great) [I being a magazine guy and taking so many photos my self have trouble buy photos]

Hoping on Sunday to do a double Picture post... One reason I don't have the time today is that I went to go See Sucker Punch.. When I saw the Previews I thought looks like the effects and battles will be great and they where.... But I thought Hot chicks with weapons this needs to be R.... Use some nudity would have been cool.... But looking at the story line honestly unless there was some girls in a shower scene cleaning off the dirtiness they feel it would not have fit the movie and would have been over the line... The Movie reminded me a bit of the wizard of OZ... There is one thing I would wish they would have shown but to do so would have changed how the movie or it dynamic .... I admit it is a bit odd of a movie but I love that it was.... Yes there is a scary undertone and maybe if you went looking for it you could find some religious idea somewhere but not really.... Hey I liked it.... Ok off to watch some Hockey on TV....

I admit that a lot of the suggestions I have no Idea what to write... I thought about this one and I was going to write about the hot weather and how all the fine buffalo ladies like to wear those little tops and small shorts or other out fits that show off the ink and or the boobs or those long lovely legs.....

But then It dawned on me as much as I love summer and hate winter what I really love about Buffalo is.......................The Snow!

Granted the Shoveling it is tough as I just found out.... That being said it is good exercise... I'm guessing it is better for you then "The Gym" well unless of course you are one of those lucky people you hear about that use "The Gym" also as a hook up spot or at least the meeting place......

Walking on Ice sucks but that is kinda like a sub plot to the snow and will be ignored.....

The Snow is pretty and make things look nice.... Yes some say it makes things look dirty.... But that is really the lack of a fresh coat hiding the dirty snow.....

I admit that I hate the cold and love being warm... But see the cold is that it is winter and that is different then the snow except like today when it was blowing in my face on the way to work....

Thinking back to when I was better still not great mind you at dealing with cold like when I was a kid snow was great... Snowball fights , sledding, Cross Country Skiing , Tried Downhill skiing (fun but chair lifts are scary) [couldn't go fast enough to have lots of fun]....... I think that part of the not being able to deal with the cold is lack of a car.... Now at first that sounds crazy.... But if I drove (4 wheel or all wheel still not sure what the difference is) I think I would never stopped skiing... Or who knows maybe I would have tried Snow Boarding and broke my neck.... But I think that if once snow hit I was on a Mountain ok a small hill maybe I would love the snow and be there like everyday after work.... Ok maybe Every Friday.....

There is kinda a side reason why I like snow. Any place you live has weather one has to deal with. I think snow is the least deadly of those. Say you live in Miami or some lovely warm place and you need a bus or something and are running late and see a bus and run or something that heat might kill you if you don't soak your shirt for the meeting you are going to... You live in the lovely (been there a few times) out banks and you have to worry about the Ocean Taking away your house..... I don't know as I could deal with living someplace where I would have to keep huge boards in my house and nail guns and have an escape plan ready for every year.........

Ah Ok thanks I was wondering what that was ok thanks.... I myself like the summer better then the winter but the snow is nice.... I myself love heat and fire (not a pyro or anyone who sets things on fire I mean looking at it)... Not so hot you can't move the sweeting is the bad part of the heat really.... But I have been burned what seems like many times from the heat..... Snow though is so much better then rain also since rain gets you wet right away snow you aren't wet until something causes it to melt......

I share your love of Buffalo but not as much the snow. I guess I do like how when its cold, no one bothers you on the street.

The box you saw was a screenshot tinypliny added to her post.

Question: When I read someone else's blog based on a suggestion the suggestion box was part of their post.... When I wrote mine I used the mine option but that box didn't show up I'm using Chrome Currently.... Did I do something wrong or have things changed since I first wrote it........ I don't see that box on (e:leetee)'s post either.........

Don't get me wrong I am happy not driving... There is to much to deal with on the road. Not to Mention Gas... Insurance.... And fixing the thing up.....

What I think a car is best for really is Hauling stuff.... If I got one that would be the reason... For example I could go to Target and buy all kinds of shelving stuff well not tons but a few.... Then over to Tops and get the food.... Then stop over and Run into zillycakes......

The Other use is kinda a sub use to Hauling and that is storage. Say you go to The Fair or Music Is Art or Allentown or what ever and you buy Art Or maybe a huge Blue Sand Castle or what ever with a car you can just go out and put the stuff in and not have to carry it as you watch the pig races or eat that fried cheese cake or what ever...

What got me thinking about this Is I'm going to an Art Show On Friday I think well more then an art show it is at Club Diablo.... What I'm debating is Yes to Pictures and Drinks and looking at art but do I really want to Buy art...... Sean Madden is amazing (Thanks to (e:Heidi) who told me about 464 Gallery and I think Marcus Wise is a member of (e:strip) but he Never posts.... Think I have seen a Picture of (e:Terry) wearing one of his shirts it is a gun and liquor bottle I think). According to the Weather it might be raining on Saturday and do I want to take a chance and get it wet... Also if I buy something do I want to chance spilling Drink on it..... I assume stuff will be being sold....

I know most people would say what is good about a car is the freedom of being able to go places.... Yes there are places that a bus can't take you but you kinda learn to deal with that... Good example is Darian Lake as nice as all the shows are do I really want to sit trying to get out of a lot for an hour... Yes When I went to Metallica, Days of the New and Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) it was an hour...... After some time you learn places you go and places you don't.... Say I did have a car I wouldn't have the money to go to those shows anyways....

So The Point is a car as a way to get somewhere even though that is the reason for them but they help the most with I think is hauling stuff..... I got interrupted So I lost some of my point argh oh well.....

That Is a good one (e:tinypliny) But then I would have to push the cart all over the festival and don't think it would fly out side a bar.... That being said I may be going to the sabres game that night and think I may look into Sean's Website it is something like clownvomit.net or something like that.......

If you are a hot chick but aren't in the Parade get the Fuck out of the street you aren't the parade we ain't here to see it you are blocking the view ..... This applies to everyone else walking the route I'm trying to see the parade thank you! At least the girls we get to see something good so it isn't as bad......

When I got there it was insane Allen was so backed up I had to walk back about 30 feet and cut across a lawn to get to Delaware...

I debated trying to get into that store by Arby's for a drink but the weather was weird it felt both warm and then cold and didn't want anything cold when I was feeling cold... So no drinks for me...

That was a good thing cause I don't know if Ass Hole or due-sh Bags is a better term show up from out of nowhere and stand in front of people me who are there on the curb like way out in the street.... Maybe they should do like I have heard NYC does and Baracade the entire street and not just Allen .......... The one Lady was nice and would go up take her picture and go back .... Now I didn't want to go up and block people who where at the level I was at.... Finally I did go up though and stopped shotting through people...

If you read my stuff and follow my stuff on Facebook you may notice that pictures go up on Facebook 1st. The Reason for that is With Windows live Picture thing once you download them you can click a button and it brings up the pictures you downloaded and you select how ever many pictures you want (facebook albums have a 200 picture limit I understand) and hit share and it transfers them for you.... So it is a tech issue Not an I love Facebook thing.....

Here are the pictures.....................

Just Had to add I had a lot of fun and maybe drinking would have been the way to go.... What would have been amazing is to go downtown and then after that go to the Sabres game... I also think some time it would be cool to be where ever the reviewing stand is (would have to be packed) so you see all the marching and dancing and bands play....... Hope everyone who went had a great time!

Just have to add that I had the 3rd Shamrock Shake of the season today with lunch and it was great..........

Yeah that was Kinda Freaky....

The Oddest thing at first though was that Snaple Was there but then if you notice the bottles said Green Tea.....

@(e:libertad) Yeah I wasn't sure who was going or where they were going to be or anything and didn't see anything about a meet up or anything..... I also thought My Sis might go and Want Help with Maya the Niece and that never became anything either...... So Just went solo.... The Odd thing is most years I have seen even if it was just in the parade someone I know even if at a distance... But not this year... But then again One of those years was post Parade at a Bar....

Just have to add one thing about the crowds some of the people where pretty nice.... but these two people I felt like walking into the middle of the Street and standing right in front of them and if they say anything go "Whats Wrong that is what You just did to Me".....

I'm guessing that if I would have crossed over to get in what may have been a line to get into the store I have seen some People I know but not sure... The Temp though wasn't warm enough though for me to drink ...........

Hope everyone had a great time and hope some other (e:Peeps) post some pictures as well....... Or maybe someone took some Video?

Nice pictures. You saw a lot more than I could see. I thought you didn't go to the parade this year, too bad we didn't see you.

So Went to see Battle Los Angeals (how ever you spell it)... It was a fun time and a good war Movie. If you like war movies you might Like it...... I like that yes it is an Action Movie but it also has a story and plot....
